Benjamin Moore

Mariner's Tale

CC-876 / 810

Mariner's Tale is a mid-toned slate blue with soft violet undertones that give it a slightly warmer lean than a standard denim or coastal blue. Its LRV of 27.63 places it in the lower-middle range, dark enough to anchor a room but still reflective enough to read clearly as blue. White Dove and Simply White serve as reliable trim pairings that maintain warmth.

Hale Navy or Forest Floor deepen the palette for accent moments. French Lilac and Wythe Blue offer lateral color movement that plays off the violet in the base.
